| Searching for download of original 1980s dub of Laputa: Castle In The |      |
Hello fellow Ghibli enthusiasts. The title pretty much says it all. I have searched and searched online for the original dub of Castle in the sky to no avail. Apparently it was dubbed by an obscure company "Magnum Video Tape and dubbing" to be played on japanese flights. It was released only on the Japanese Studio Ghibli Laserdisc Collection in 1996 and on the first Region 2 DVD release in 2002, both of which are now out of print.
If anyone on gods green earth could help me find a download I would be forever grateful. I understand from reading the disney version is probably far superior, besides having an extended remastered soundtrack, and added background noise, the original was made quickly/cheaply.
However i read about a few dialogue changes that make me very interested. Ive also read that the extended score was to fill in silences the original dubbing had, which American audiences would feel awkward about...well i sometimes like things like those kinds of things.. in any case this is my favorite movie. And regardless of the disney being better, i want to see the other version of my faborite film. Please if anyone has any hints, I am on the hunt
Edit* Only a few hours of digging after posting this I found an uploaded rip of an old Japanese Laserdisc. If anyone wants the link please dm me. It took enough effort to find that I'm not sure how public they want the link..as odd as that sounds.
